In reply to Will Lord:
Hi Will
Just got back from some bouldering in Bishop I was told before we left that the best place to stay on a budget
was Hostel California but sadly it was fully booked so we stopped at Motel 6 which was fine but not cheap as everywhere fills up quickly in Bishop - check out The Mountain Ramblers Brewery on the main Street for excellent beer and great cheap food also call in at The Gear Exchange or Wilsons Eastside Sports (next door) there's always someone looking for someone to climb with.
have a good trip wish I could join you.
